A '''Squiggler'''<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide|page=11|date=May 15, 2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-59812-009-3}}</ref> is a miniature, likely quite young type of [[Wiggler]] that first appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Unlike normal-sized Wigglers, Squigglers have three body segments and a head about twice the size as the other segments that has a sprout on top.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Squigglers can only be found in [[World 7-A]]; many can be seen crawling around the perimeter of [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s in the underground pipe maze area. Unlike regular Wigglers, they can be defeated, either by [[stomp]]ing on them, by throwing [[fireball]]s at them as [[Fire Mario]], or by other methods. In this game Squigglers are cream-colored, and they give no points upon being jumped on. However, defeating them by using [[Ground Pound]]s, fireballs, or a [[Blue Shell]] will earn points.

A [[Wiggler Family#The Squiggler|single Squiggler]] appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' in [[Dimble Wood]]. This Squiggler manages the Wiggler family farm. [[Bowser]] meets with it and the Squiggler seems friendly. However, Bowser states bluntly that vegetables are gross and that [[meat]] is better. The Squiggler reacts to this by saying that a healthy body does not crave meat and then hides behind a rock. It can last be seen during the [[sliding punch]] tutorial, where it can be found if the player tries to head south. Upon doing this, it asks Bowser if he can smash the rocks blocking the shortcut out of the farm. In this game, Squigglers are mainly colored yellow instead of pale cream.
